Over the past few years, I’ve been creating facsimiles of handwritten notes I've found in public spaces. I’m drawn to their speculative nature—the mystery behind who wrote them, and why—as well as the unique handwriting and the wear each piece of paper carries. By replicating them as large-scale drawings, I turn these small, ephemeral objects into monuments that invite closer scrutiny and interpretation. Even the most banal note can offer insight into the human condition, reveal overlooked stories—or like 'I am not a bin'—suggest double meanings.
